map_prototype


Here are some sample images used for my story map — mostly black and white photographs and 1950s pattern illustrations. David Malki's wondermark.com guided my thinking by using existing illustrations. Winsor McCay's Nemo in Slumberland and George Herriman's Krazy Kat strips provided layout inspiration which I since have abandoned. I changed my mind about the format, I am borrowing from conceptual artists /minimalists Sol Lewitt and Ellsworth Kelly's color swatch paintings and square compositions with my own grid and horizontal time line. I aim to remain loyal to the author's tone, the time and place. My own interpretations (such as representing as a letter J typewriter key with a baby body) are in the piece too.
